Chapter 1589 - 1894: Qiang (1)
Seeing Zhong Wei fall to the ground, the others were taken aback, surprised by the man’s tremendous strength, which had actually sent Zhong Wei flying. "What audacity!" Liang Zhao Hui leaped forward from behind and kicked the man’s back.
However, despite Liang Zhao Hui’s powerful kick, the man’s body was unaffected. Instead, Liang Zhao Hui felt as if he had kicked an iron plate; not only was the man unharmed, but Liang Zhao Hui was pushed away by an invisible force.
Witnessing Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui suffer at the man’s hands, Nanrong Hao immediately shielded Nanrong Wanqing behind him without saying a word. Trained by Ling Chen, though not comparable to those martial arts masters, he was still more than capable of handling a few ordinary strong men.
As the man charged forward, Nanrong Hao shouted fiercely and threw a punch, intending to knock him down. Facing Nanrong Hao’s attack, the man seemed oblivious, letting Nanrong Hao’s fist land on him.
Suddenly, a cry of agony echoed through the spacious hall. The scream didn’t come from the man but from Nanrong Hao, who clutched his right fist in pain, his face turning pale and sweat pouring down his forehead.
Nanrong Wanqing was also startled by the man’s actions, involuntarily stepping back and anxiously asking, "What do you want?" As soon as she spoke, the man had already rushed up, and seeing his fierce look, Nanrong Wanqing couldn’t help but close her eyes.
However, after a second or two, Nanrong Wanqing was unharmed, instead hearing a heavy breathing sound nearby. She slowly opened her eyes, discovering the man standing right in front of her, seemingly with no intention of harming her.
Seeing the situation, Nanrong Wanqing was momentarily stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Do not harm the chairman." By this time, notified security personnel had already rushed over, armed with batons, preparing to teach the man a lesson and drive him away from Nanrong Wanqing.
Seeing more than a dozen security personnel surrounding them, Nanrong Wanqing suddenly held out her hand to stop their actions, saying, "Don’t come closer yet." After saying this, she glanced at the man and asked, "Who are you?"
"Elder... Sister!"
Unexpectedly, the man actually called Nanrong Wanqing "sister," shocking everyone. This man appeared to be at least over thirty years old, and yet he called Nanrong Wanqing sister, which was indeed puzzling. Could there be something wrong with this man’s eyes, not realizing Nanrong Wanqing’s youth?
Seeing the man with such a docile expression, Nanrong Wanqing’s heart moved, and she asked, "Do you know me?"
"Sister, sister." The man didn’t answer Nanrong Wanqing’s question but continued calling her sister, his tone even carrying a trace of excitement.
"Chairman, this man is too dangerous; you’d better not get too close." At this point, Zhong Wei had gotten up from the ground and quickly walked over to Nanrong Wanqing. But as soon as he approached, the man immediately turned fierce, his cold eyes staring directly at Zhong Wei, ready to strike at any moment.
Seeing the man’s actions, Zhong Wei was scared, quickly stopping his steps, not daring to get closer to Nanrong Wanqing. As Zhong Wei slowly retreated, the man’s fierce demeanor quickly turned back into the docile expression from before.
Noticing the man’s change in expression, Nanrong Wanqing seemed to grasp something and said, "He is protecting me, not an enemy." Saying this, Nanrong Wanqing gestured to Zhong Wei. The latter understood and approached Nanrong Wanqing again. This time, the man looked at Zhong Wei with a much milder gaze, showing no intention of making a move.
Seeing this, Nanrong Wanqing nodded lightly. As she expected! She guessed correctly that the man in front of her had mistaken her for someone else. Although not knowing whom the man had mistaken her for, one thing was sure, that person held significant importance in the man’s heart.
"You should go sit over there and have something to eat."
Upon hearing Nanrong Wanqing’s words, the man immediately returned to the sofa and sat down, grabbing the instant noodles on the floor and preparing to eat.
"Don’t... don’t eat that, it’s dirty." Nanrong Wanqing’s expression changed, quickly shouting.
The man, without a word, obediently put the instant noodles down. Following Nanrong Wanqing’s indication, a staff member quickly prepared a bowl of instant noodles and handed it to the man.
Watching the man devour the noodles ravenously, Nanrong Wanqing’s curiosity deepened. What kind of person was this?
"Chairman, what should we do now?" Zhong Wei asked beside her.
Nanrong Wanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Didn’t Officer Xia get transferred to Beijing? You help me contact her and then hand him over to her."
"Understood." Zhong Wei replied and immediately took out his phone to make contact.
"How are you, are you okay?" Seeing Nanrong Hao’s pained expression, Nanrong Wanqing asked concernedly, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Nanrong Hao forced a smile and said, "Sister, no need, just a minor injury." Saying this, he shook his aching right hand, his gaze moving to the stranger, frowning, "Who is this person, so powerful."
"Don’t worry about it. I still need to go meet a client. How about this, you stay at the company and wait for Officer Xia, help her finish handling this matter."
"Alright."
However, as Nanrong Wanqing prepared to leave with Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui, the man suddenly cried out and quickly rushed to Nanrong Wanqing’s side, seemingly unwilling to let her leave. Seeing this, Nanrong Wanqing said, "You sit here for now, I’ll be back soon."
But unexpectedly, the man shook his head continuously, entirely disregarding her arrangement. "Sister, why don’t I call Chen?" Nanrong Hao suggested, "This guy has some issues; for safety, we’d better get a few experts to help."
Seeing the man’s anxious expression, Nanrong Wanqing felt not just curious, but also captivated. What kind of person could make the man so devoted? After hesitating for a moment, Nanrong Wanqing said, "Captain Zhong, help me call the client and tell them I’m unavailable today and I’ll meet them another day."
"Yes."
"Come with me." Nanrong Wanqing gestured to the man, who immediately followed her to the lounge area, obediently sitting on the sofa.
Seated next to Nanrong Wanqing, the man became very well-behaved, but his gaze occasionally landed on the instant noodles on the ground, his mouth watering. Noticing the man’s little gesture, Nanrong Wanqing called a security personnel and instructed, "Go outside and buy him some food."
